About this item

A paddy wheel (or cage wheel) for a power weeder is a specialized iron agricultural attachment designed for superior traction, puddling, and soil cultivation in wet, muddy, or waterlogged rice fields. Featuring a cage-like structure with blades, it improves mobility and prevents sinking, usually coming in 14-22 inch diameters for 7-12 HP machines. 

Key Features and Description:

·         Design: Open-frame cage design with hardened steel blades or plates that provide excellent grip and minimize mud sticking to the wheels.

·         Puddling & Weeding: Used for mixing soil in water (puddling) and effective weeding, often referred to as "Kado wheels" or iron wheels.

·         Material: Usually constructed from durable Mild Steel (MS) or stainless steel to withstand tough, abrasive, and wet field conditions.

·         Dimensions: Available in various sizes, with 18-inch and 22-inch diameters being common for standard power weeders, while smaller, 10-14 inch versions exist for lighter mini-tillers.

·         Compatibility: Designed for 7 HP to 12 HP diesel power weeders (e.g.,BAHAR,  Kirloskar, VST Shakti, Kisankraft, Shrachi).

·         Performance Benefits: Enhances stability in wet soil, significantly reduces operator effort compared to traditional tyres, and increases the speed of soil preparation. 

These wheels are essential attachments for increasing efficiency in rice farming, allowing for deeper tilling and better manoeuvring in harsh environments.
